Customer ServicePI controllers are not only similar to P controllers for solar energy but also take into account the period they take for the system to reach the desired performance. For example, if the system eventually reaches 100 Watts, but it takes too long to reach it, the PI controller will adjust the power to reach 100 Watts sooner.
Customer ServiceSolar charge controllers use a multi-stage charging system designed to charge batteries with the right voltage and current for each stage. Depending on the battery electrolyte, the charge controller might use different charging stages: Lead-Acid Batteries: (1) Bulk, (2) Absorption, (3) Float, and (4) Equalization (only for flooded batteries) Li-Ion Batteries: (1)
Customer ServiceWhen used correctly, solar charge controllers can help optimize the performance of solar systems and ensure they stay healthy and productive for years to come.
